Hi

I'm currently 36w (in a day that is) and last night I had really bad period type cramps in my lower abdomen and back. They started around 2:30am and stayed until about 7am. They were so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. The pain was coming and going, but generally consistent and I had some BH with it too. I've had nothing since 7am.

Has anyone else experienced this at this stage? Google provided me with a couple of options: early labour or stretching. I don't really think it's either though!

Any thoughts?
